are expressed through the body. This means that emotions can signal to others through the body what is going on within us. You might have heard it said that emotion is e-motion, or energy in motion, and the landscape for that movement is our bodies. But some of us have confused our ability to feel our feelings as they move as energy through our body with our ability to talk about what we feel. We can sit in therapy, tell sad stories, and talk about feeling sad without ever having the bodily experience of sadness.
